Please avoid converting direct links (such as Kent County, Rhode Island) into links to disambiguation pages (such as Kent County). Instead, consider piping the link (as [[Kent County, Rhode Island|Kent County]]) to achieve the desired result without rendering the link less useful. Oddly, you're the second experienced editor this week to make this specific edit to the WLKW article. - Dravecky ( talk) 14:49, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
I thought you and the others agreed to leave the status quo as-is until the discussion was decided?
Further, your "final warning" is very flawed and reflective of you, not me. I did NOT revert edits three times in a 24-hour period, so that is a false charge. Further, it is a conflict of interest for you to be both involved in the matter as a point of discussion AND also as a point of enforcing "penalties." In short, it's like trying to win a chess game by knocking the pieces off the board. Cyber-bullying and threats to block are NOT productive and NOT good arguments, either. Far from a WIKI-LAWYERING accusation, it seemed an acceptable and reasonable compromise to link the sentence in the Jiroemon Kimura article directly to the year 1897, rather than his year-of-birth/year-of-death listing at the top. However, it seems to me that you are more interested in "winning" than being fair, more interested in bullying than being reasonable. As such, I will take this matter to higher authorities.

Hi Ohconfucius,
Firstly, apologies for this long message! I may need a response from you directly underneath it, per (3) below.
You are receiving this message as you voted in VOTE 2 at the recent Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll. Unfortunately, there is a hitch regarding the "none" vote that can theoretically affect all votes.
1) Background of VOTE 2:
In a working example of CDA; ater the 'discussion and polling phase' is over, if the "rule of thumb" baseline percentage for Support votes has been reached, the bureaucrats can start to decide whether to desysop an admin, based in part on the evidence of the prior debate. This 'baseline' has now been slightly-adjusted to 65% (from 70%) per VOTE 1. VOTE 2 was asking if there is a ballpark area where the community consensus is so strong, that the bureaucrats should consider desysopping 'automatically'. This 'threshold' was set at 80%, and could change pending agreement on the VOTE 2 results.
This was VOTE 2;
This is the VOTE 2 question without any ambiguity;
2) What was wrong with VOTE 2?
Since the poll, it has been suggested that ambiguity in the term "none at all" could have affected some of the votes. Consequently there has been no consensus over what percentage to settle on, or how to create a new compromise percentage. The poll results are summarised here.
3) HOW TO CLARIFY YOUR VOTE:
Directly below this querying message, please can you;
I realise that many of you clarified your meaning after your initial vote, but the only realistic way to move forward is to be as inclusive as possible in this vote query. I will copy any responses from this talk page and place them at CDA Summaries for analysis. Sorry for the inconvenience,

Some time ago you came across an article that you had questions about. Rather than pose those quetions on its talk page, or on the talk page(s) of the contributors who had worked on that article you nominated it for deletion.
You did not inform the contributor who started the article. So they did not have an opportunity to respond to your questions. While the deletion policies highly recommend nominators observe the courtesy of leaving a heads-up on talk page(s) of the individual who started or uploaded, and on those of other major contributors, it is not strictly required.
The way I see it we all have a limited store of good faith. I for one appreciate it when other contributors do observe the courtesies our policies recommend, as it avoids unnecessarily draining my limited store of good faith.
It was a long time ago -- maybe you do leave courtesy heads-ups on other contributor's talk page now. But, if you don't, is there any chance you would consider doing so in future?

I disagree with many of your removals, so I'm going to re-add a few of them (not all). For example, you removed all internal links to pop music. You removed the only link to Toronto. I'm fine with the more obvious ones, like certain instruments, etc. "Overlinking" can be defined as both "too many links in an article" and "more than one internal link". Let me know if you think I'm absolutely in the wrong. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ galaxies 01:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
By the same token, link to Baroque pop, Bubblegum pop, Dance-pop , Electropop, Europop, Indie pop, Operatic pop, Power pop, Sophisti-pop, Space age pop, Sunshine pop, Teen pop, Country pop, Disco, Dream pop, Jangle pop, Pop punk, Pop rap, Pop rock, Psychedelic pop, Technopop, Urban pop, by all means, but I feel that Pop music is sufficiently wide to cover almost all known musical genres, and is utterly banal these days, so it makes little sense to link to it.

The RfC on the Community de-Adminship proposal was started on the 22nd Feb, and it runs for 28 days. Please note that the existing CDA proposal was (in the end) run as something of a working compromise, so CDA is still largely being floated as an idea.
Also note that, although the RfC is in 'poll format' (Support, Oppose, and Neutral, with Comments underneath), this RfC is still essentially a 'Request for Comment'. Currently, similar comments on CDA's value are being made under all three polls.
Whatever you vote, your vote is welcome!

In reply to your recent post, you should note that false warnings are frowned upon, and I'd also add that you are a fine one to speak of "stalking" when you seem to appear on pages shortly after Tony does in an apparent effort to "tag-team" him. One of the reasons why it is important to research events rather than just leap in with fake, unsubstantiated "warnings" is that it helps to avoid posts that make you look foolish. Even the most cursory of examination of my contributions list - freely and easily accessible through my signature in addition to the usual methods - would demonstrate thousands upon thousands of edits to television-related articles, especially to the main articles for individual series. It is ludicrous to toss around false accusations of "stalking" when Tony1's actions tonight caused my watchlist to light up like a Christmas tree. -- Ckatz chat spy 08:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

汉语的缺陷 及给中国文化的影响早有定论,为民族自尊的原因而只在学术界小范围内讨论。
1 语言,语法不精确,导致 不能建 立有清晰内涵和外延界定的抽象概念。 而概念的缺乏直接干扰中国文化逻辑学的产生。自然也就没有逻辑思维了。
2 象形文字没有进一步转为字母化的符号体系。缺乏丰富的符号体系来表征抽象概念,符号工具的缺乏使得中国古代数学家已经非常接近微积分,而最终无法创造微积 分的原因, 符号对概念的抽象替代-“算 符”。也是现代量子力学的基石。
3 长期接触图像化的象形文字,使中国人的大脑长于形象思维, 弱于抽象思维。长于艺术,文学,人际关系,弱于自然科学,法律。

符 号不仅可以代表概念,还可以代表概念之间由逻辑关系而形成的一个相对固定的结合体,量子力学中的算符就起这种功能
丰富的符号体系造就现 代科学。
象形文字的汉字让中国人无法形成符号体系。
另外, 音形不联系的汉字难学难记, 没有三年艰苦的学习难以读书看报,中国的文盲数量比例非常高。
而表音体系能说即能读, 儿童可以更早的接触文字信息,智力开发也更早。
汉 字难学 ,使得儿童接触同样数量的文字信息比表音文字教育体系下的儿童有1-2年的迟滞,而这1-2年的迟滞对智力发育带来的危害非常大。 Arilang talk 06:43, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm hardly surprised to see that you have recently had an altercation with Kwamikagami. I have been plagued with his personal attacks and incivility for months on various RfCs, article talk, and user talk pages. I generally take the other course and remain almost unctuously polite - which seems to incite even more of his abuse. I've therefore been seriously considering escalating a complaint (no easy decision) about his behaviour which is absolutely inappropriate for a sysop, but firstly I'm not sure how to do this, secondly, I would need support from a whole lot more people he has insulted, and thirdly, I am very suspicious that he canvasses off-Wiki support for his weak, strawman arguments, systematic disruptive editing, and revert wars.-- Kudpung ( talk) 09:37, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I like this script. I like it a lot. Just thought I'd say cheers for something so useful! But just one thing... I'm not so sure about the British flags being added to the top of articles. Firstly, it overlaps the featured article star/good article badge and looks messy, and secondly, it arguably violates MOS:FLAG. We already have a template for the talk page that is relatively out-of-sight; as much as I like the flag (and it appears you do too, considering the rather large one you have up there), adding one to the article itself is slightly pretentious, and may even be controversial on some (e.g. Ireland). But aside from that, nice work! This script will be very handy. Best regards, Hayden120 ( talk) 06:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could explain and/or revert this edit to the Battle of Saipan article. It's been too long to just hit the undo button, but since you seem to use a script for this, it should be possible to convert the dates back into Month, Day Year format.
I would also ask, er, please don't do stuff like this in the future. Making a mostly-British English article consistent is fine, of course, and surely a good use of the script, but switching American date styles over? You cite WP:ENGVAR but violate it by switching the format of the dates used in the article for no reason. If there is any perferred form of English in a battle between the United States and a non-English speaking country, it should obviously be American English. But who cares about that? If it was written in British English by its major contributors that'd have been fine. However, it was not; it was written in American English and the date format was Month, Day. Please, please, please respect what the actual content-creators have done rather than change them up by script; this is one of the most deeply annoying things about Wikipedia in proportion to its actual relevance.
I'd add as well that I for one strongly prefer &ndash ; style dashes which are clear and written out rather than Unicode characters, but that's a different issue since most script-writers seem to love replacing that for no reason. There doesn't seem to be any policy at all on this so it's a free for all, though, and I can't fault you if you think that actually helps (though I disagree). SnowFire ( talk) 16:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
As for the dashes, I happen to feel that edit screens are often a mess and are impossible to read, from all the templates, citations and other bits and bobs, and I just thought I was contributing to reducing screen clutter by executing that search-and-replace, rendering the edit screen more legible. However, I do admit it is often difficult to tell when a minus/hyphen sign is used compared to an endash or emdash should these unambiguous markers be removed. I thank you for pointing out that scriptwriters seem to prefer this too. I trust this satisfactorily deals with your concerns. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 01:14, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Although i appreciate all of the corrections you've made you got one thing wrong. Cheryl Cole is a British subject and the article is written in mostly British English therefore the date formats should aslo be British per MOS:DATE.

Hi. The problem that I see here is that the bolded title is only part of the link, which takes liberties with the format requirements (the new article bolded). This is highly unusual, and your concern that it may be confused for the original GoD statue is a risk taken: if we did this for all homonyms, we'd have to introduce a new format; since the readers are presumed to be clicking the links and see what the article is about, it really isn't an issue. about the linking of Hong Kong: I find that it's best to link all or most place names, to avoid discussions about which one is and isn't linkable - consider that your hook may end up in a queue that has links to United Kingdom, for instance, and not linking Hong Kong would be an anomaly.
Now, I'm sure you're already set on your format preferences, but please consider these points. I won't intervene in that hook any longer, but try and see it from my perspective and, if anything in the above makes sense to you, please consider tweaking the hook accordingly.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs ( talk) 17:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

For example, in the Northrop F-5, there wer 34 national flags listed, yet you only removed the two USA flags, per this diff. I assume this is because of the tools you're using, and that it is kicking out the USA flags because of its own criteria. However, removing only one nation's flags is highly inconsistent, whatever the rationale. Further, the use of these flags in such sections is permitted by WP:AIR/PC page content guidelines, so a removal of all flags without prior discussion will be seen as unhelpful. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 12:49, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Regarding some manual of style changes you made to a few USAF unit, I went though the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) and didn't see anything that said an ongoing date should be 'since 1978' vice '1978-present.' Did I miss it?-- Ndunruh ( talk) 13:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for addressing the problems with this article! I had just written a note last night to another editor asking if something could be done about it. Often at night I'll go through the list of musician's biographies needing infoboxes and then I add to many of them just to get them completed, esp. if they already have a photo and much of the necessary information. It also helps to go through the list, and check manually to see if a lot of names needing infoboxes already have them, and remove the request on the Bio listas tag on the talk page. This one already had an infobox and I began to clean it up before noticing that it didn't belong there! Glad you noticed the error there! -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 21:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Please avoid making spurious accusations, especially in edit summaries. Your changes affected templates that appear on hundreds (if not thousands) of talk pages. I do apologize for not immediatey leaving you a note, as planned, but real life intervened. However, it would have been better to ask instead of accuse. As for the template, templates and tempate documentation pages are not the appropriate place for the note you added.

I thought you and the others agreed to leave the status quo as-is until the discussion was decided?
Further, your "final warning" is very flawed and reflective of you, not me. I did NOT revert edits three times in a 24-hour period, so that is a false charge. Further, it is a conflict of interest for you to be both involved in the matter as a point of discussion AND also as a point of enforcing "penalties." In short, it's like trying to win a chess game by knocking the pieces off the board. Cyber-bullying and threats to block are NOT productive and NOT good arguments, either. Far from a WIKI-LAWYERING accusation, it seemed an acceptable and reasonable compromise to link the sentence in the Jiroemon Kimura article directly to the year 1897, rather than his year-of-birth/year-of-death listing at the top. However, it seems to me that you are more interested in "winning" than being fair, more interested in bullying than being reasonable. As such, I will take this matter to higher authorities.

Hi Ohconfucius,
Firstly, apologies for this long message! I may need a response from you directly underneath it, per (3) below.
You are receiving this message as you voted in VOTE 2 at the recent Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll. Unfortunately, there is a hitch regarding the "none" vote that can theoretically affect all votes.
1) Background of VOTE 2:
In a working example of CDA; ater the 'discussion and polling phase' is over, if the "rule of thumb" baseline percentage for Support votes has been reached, the bureaucrats can start to decide whether to desysop an admin, based in part on the evidence of the prior debate. This 'baseline' has now been slightly-adjusted to 65% (from 70%) per VOTE 1. VOTE 2 was asking if there is a ballpark area where the community consensus is so strong, that the bureaucrats should consider desysopping 'automatically'. This 'threshold' was set at 80%, and could change pending agreement on the VOTE 2 results.
This was VOTE 2;
This is the VOTE 2 question without any ambiguity;
2) What was wrong with VOTE 2?
Since the poll, it has been suggested that ambiguity in the term "none at all" could have affected some of the votes. Consequently there has been no consensus over what percentage to settle on, or how to create a new compromise percentage. The poll results are summarised here.
3) HOW TO CLARIFY YOUR VOTE:
Directly below this querying message, please can you;
I realise that many of you clarified your meaning after your initial vote, but the only realistic way to move forward is to be as inclusive as possible in this vote query. I will copy any responses from this talk page and place them at CDA Summaries for analysis. Sorry for the inconvenience,

Some time ago you came across an article that you had questions about. Rather than pose those quetions on its talk page, or on the talk page(s) of the contributors who had worked on that article you nominated it for deletion.
You did not inform the contributor who started the article. So they did not have an opportunity to respond to your questions. While the deletion policies highly recommend nominators observe the courtesy of leaving a heads-up on talk page(s) of the individual who started or uploaded, and on those of other major contributors, it is not strictly required.
The way I see it we all have a limited store of good faith. I for one appreciate it when other contributors do observe the courtesies our policies recommend, as it avoids unnecessarily draining my limited store of good faith.
It was a long time ago -- maybe you do leave courtesy heads-ups on other contributor's talk page now. But, if you don't, is there any chance you would consider doing so in future?

I disagree with many of your removals, so I'm going to re-add a few of them (not all). For example, you removed all internal links to pop music. You removed the only link to Toronto. I'm fine with the more obvious ones, like certain instruments, etc. "Overlinking" can be defined as both "too many links in an article" and "more than one internal link". Let me know if you think I'm absolutely in the wrong. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ galaxies 01:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
By the same token, link to Baroque pop, Bubblegum pop, Dance-pop , Electropop, Europop, Indie pop, Operatic pop, Power pop, Sophisti-pop, Space age pop, Sunshine pop, Teen pop, Country pop, Disco, Dream pop, Jangle pop, Pop punk, Pop rap, Pop rock, Psychedelic pop, Technopop, Urban pop, by all means, but I feel that Pop music is sufficiently wide to cover almost all known musical genres, and is utterly banal these days, so it makes little sense to link to it.

The RfC on the Community de-Adminship proposal was started on the 22nd Feb, and it runs for 28 days. Please note that the existing CDA proposal was (in the end) run as something of a working compromise, so CDA is still largely being floated as an idea.
Also note that, although the RfC is in 'poll format' (Support, Oppose, and Neutral, with Comments underneath), this RfC is still essentially a 'Request for Comment'. Currently, similar comments on CDA's value are being made under all three polls.

In reply to your recent post, you should note that false warnings are frowned upon, and I'd also add that you are a fine one to speak of "stalking" when you seem to appear on pages shortly after Tony does in an apparent effort to "tag-team" him. One of the reasons why it is important to research events rather than just leap in with fake, unsubstantiated "warnings" is that it helps to avoid posts that make you look foolish. Even the most cursory of examination of my contributions list - freely and easily accessible through my signature in addition to the usual methods - would demonstrate thousands upon thousands of edits to television-related articles, especially to the main articles for individual series. It is ludicrous to toss around false accusations of "stalking" when Tony1's actions tonight caused my watchlist to light up like a Christmas tree. -- Ckatz chat spy 08:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

汉语的缺陷 及给中国文化的影响早有定论,为民族自尊的原因而只在学术界小范围内讨论。
1 语言,语法不精确,导致 不能建 立有清晰内涵和外延界定的抽象概念。 而概念的缺乏直接干扰中国文化逻辑学的产生。自然也就没有逻辑思维了。
2 象形文字没有进一步转为字母化的符号体系。缺乏丰富的符号体系来表征抽象概念,符号工具的缺乏使得中国古代数学家已经非常接近微积分,而最终无法创造微积 分的原因, 符号对概念的抽象替代-“算 符”。也是现代量子力学的基石。
3 长期接触图像化的象形文字,使中国人的大脑长于形象思维, 弱于抽象思维。长于艺术,文学,人际关系,弱于自然科学,法律。

符 号不仅可以代表概念,还可以代表概念之间由逻辑关系而形成的一个相对固定的结合体,量子力学中的算符就起这种功能
丰富的符号体系造就现 代科学。
象形文字的汉字让中国人无法形成符号体系。
另外, 音形不联系的汉字难学难记, 没有三年艰苦的学习难以读书看报,中国的文盲数量比例非常高。
而表音体系能说即能读, 儿童可以更早的接触文字信息,智力开发也更早。

I'm hardly surprised to see that you have recently had an altercation with Kwamikagami. I have been plagued with his personal attacks and incivility for months on various RfCs, article talk, and user talk pages. I generally take the other course and remain almost unctuously polite - which seems to incite even more of his abuse. I've therefore been seriously considering escalating a complaint (no easy decision) about his behaviour which is absolutely inappropriate for a sysop, but firstly I'm not sure how to do this, secondly, I would need support from a whole lot more people he has insulted, and thirdly, I am very suspicious that he canvasses off-Wiki support for his weak, strawman arguments, systematic disruptive editing, and revert wars.-- Kudpung ( talk) 09:37, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I like this script. I like it a lot. Just thought I'd say cheers for something so useful! But just one thing... I'm not so sure about the British flags being added to the top of articles. Firstly, it overlaps the featured article star/good article badge and looks messy, and secondly, it arguably violates MOS:FLAG. We already have a template for the talk page that is relatively out-of-sight; as much as I like the flag (and it appears you do too, considering the rather large one you have up there), adding one to the article itself is slightly pretentious, and may even be controversial on some (e.g. Ireland). But aside from that, nice work! This script will be very handy. Best regards, Hayden120 ( talk) 06:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could explain and/or revert this edit to the Battle of Saipan article. It's been too long to just hit the undo button, but since you seem to use a script for this, it should be possible to convert the dates back into Month, Day Year format.
I would also ask, er, please don't do stuff like this in the future. Making a mostly-British English article consistent is fine, of course, and surely a good use of the script, but switching American date styles over? You cite WP:ENGVAR but violate it by switching the format of the dates used in the article for no reason. If there is any perferred form of English in a battle between the United States and a non-English speaking country, it should obviously be American English. But who cares about that? If it was written in British English by its major contributors that'd have been fine. However, it was not; it was written in American English and the date format was Month, Day. Please, please, please respect what the actual content-creators have done rather than change them up by script; this is one of the most deeply annoying things about Wikipedia in proportion to its actual relevance.
I'd add as well that I for one strongly prefer &ndash ; style dashes which are clear and written out rather than Unicode characters, but that's a different issue since most script-writers seem to love replacing that for no reason. There doesn't seem to be any policy at all on this so it's a free for all, though, and I can't fault you if you think that actually helps (though I disagree). SnowFire ( talk) 16:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
As for the dashes, I happen to feel that edit screens are often a mess and are impossible to read, from all the templates, citations and other bits and bobs, and I just thought I was contributing to reducing screen clutter by executing that search-and-replace, rendering the edit screen more legible. However, I do admit it is often difficult to tell when a minus/hyphen sign is used compared to an endash or emdash should these unambiguous markers be removed. I thank you for pointing out that scriptwriters seem to prefer this too. I trust this satisfactorily deals with your concerns. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 01:14, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Although i appreciate all of the corrections you've made you got one thing wrong. Cheryl Cole is a British subject and the article is written in mostly British English therefore the date formats should aslo be British per MOS:DATE.

Hi. The problem that I see here is that the bolded title is only part of the link, which takes liberties with the format requirements (the new article bolded). This is highly unusual, and your concern that it may be confused for the original GoD statue is a risk taken: if we did this for all homonyms, we'd have to introduce a new format; since the readers are presumed to be clicking the links and see what the article is about, it really isn't an issue. about the linking of Hong Kong: I find that it's best to link all or most place names, to avoid discussions about which one is and isn't linkable - consider that your hook may end up in a queue that has links to United Kingdom, for instance, and not linking Hong Kong would be an anomaly.
Now, I'm sure you're already set on your format preferences, but please consider these points. I won't intervene in that hook any longer, but try and see it from my perspective and, if anything in the above makes sense to you, please consider tweaking the hook accordingly.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs ( talk) 17:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Somebody w/ more knowledge of Chinese history needs to look at this guy's edits. started yesterday, changes flags + pics, and caught my attention with phrases like "they lied" and "brutally killed". Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 04:45, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

With 10th anniversary of Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, I only had to press "Mark as patrolled" and move on. For your contributions to Wikipedia in general, and your contributions to articles about Chinese subjects specifically, I award you this barnstar. -- I dream of horses @ 04:14, 17 June 2010 (UTC) | ||

On June 19, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Goddess of Democracy (Hong Kong), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hey there. I randomly stumbled across some of your articles and contributions. Keep up the good work! Intranetusa ( talk) 03:19, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
An article that you have been involved in editing, Wikipedia: Manual of Style (dates and numbers) , has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going to the article and clicking on the (Discuss) link at the top of the article, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. Martinvl ( talk) 19:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
In several of your recent edit sessions on aircraft articles, you've removed the {{ USA}} flag icons from the "Operators" sections of these articles. Further, you have removed only the USA flags, while the flags of other nations were allowed to remain. For example, in the Northrop F-5, there wer 34 national flags listed, yet you only removed the two USA flags, per this diff. I assume this is because of the tools you're using, and that it is kicking out the USA flags because of its own criteria. However, removing only one nation's flags is highly inconsistent, whatever the rationale. Further, the use of these flags in such sections is permitted by WP:AIR/PC page content guidelines, so a removal of all flags without prior discussion will be seen as unhelpful. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 12:49, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Regarding some manual of style changes you made to a few USAF unit, I went though the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) and didn't see anything that said an ongoing date should be 'since 1978' vice '1978-present.' Did I miss it?-- Ndunruh ( talk) 13:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for addressing the problems with this article! I had just written a note last night to another editor asking if something could be done about it. Often at night I'll go through the list of musician's biographies needing infoboxes and then I add to many of them just to get them completed, esp. if they already have a photo and much of the necessary information. It also helps to go through the list, and check manually to see if a lot of names needing infoboxes already have them, and remove the request on the Bio listas tag on the talk page. This one already had an infobox and I began to clean it up before noticing that it didn't belong there! Glad you noticed the error there! -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 21:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Please avoid making spurious accusations, especially in edit summaries. Your changes affected templates that appear on hundreds (if not thousands) of talk pages. I do apologize for not immediatey leaving you a note, as planned, but real life intervened. However, it would have been better to ask instead of accuse. As for the template, templates and tempate documentation pages are not the appropriate place for the note you added. Instead, you may wish to add it to the existing directory of user scripts, and at the appropriate project pages. (Language, copy-editing, WP Britain etc.) -- Ckatz chat spy 09:00, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I took the liberty of requesting them for you. I hope that's okay. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 11:04, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
